STATE FAIR.

The State fair opened at Milwaukee
on Monday last. The managers evil
IDENTIFY intended to spare no effort to
render the fair creditable to the state.
Precautionary measures were taken to
avoid intrusions on the grounds of
such exhibits and practices as have no
business at places of this kind. The
lots were rented to exhibitors, on the
condition that no Intoxicating liquors
were to be sold, or gambling devices of
any kind allowed on them the PEN
atty for violation of these rules to be
immediate expulsion from the fair
grounds, and forfeiture of the rental
money. Smoking was also prohibited
in the main hall and around the horse
and cattle stalls. All orderly citizens
will commend the managers for the
adoption of rules which ensure decency
and propriety on the fair grounds. We
hope to learn that the fair in every
way proved satisfactory.

oyerdone aid that the number of idle
men on the streets is evidence ofsit.
This will not bear investigation.
Two men are standing on the street,
both out of work; one is a skilled me-
chanic, the other has no trade. The
skilled working man stands three times
the better chance to get employment,
and at fifty per cent better wages. OF
the hundreds of men out of work in
the cities, hardly one-twentieth of them
are skilled working men; nor have
they had any mechanical training.
Among the many evidences of the
growing demand for skilled working
men is the following from the Phila-
delpbia Record:
1.-The demand for skilled labor in
machine shops of all kinds throughout
the country is greater at this time than
for several years. Special arrange
ments have been made to secure Eng
lish and German labor within the next
ninety days. Farm hands are being
initiated into the mysteries of machine
shops, tempted by the higher wages
offered. Leading manufacturers are
beginning now to recognize the very
urgent necessity for technical educa-
ton. Foreign laborers, although skill
ed in their own country, have to be in
many respects re-taught here

The greenhouses owned by the late
Alexander Mitchell, at Milwaukee, are
claimed to he the most extensive and
best furnished of any private property
of the kind in the United States, and
even equaling the government Propa-
CATION and Botanic Garden at Wash
ingtOn City. This latter claim is
probably much Over.stated, but that
the Mitchell greenhouses are the most
extensive private property may be
true. Mrs. Mitchell, by the will of her
husband, was given life estate in the
home, including of course these floral
establishments. AS she comtemplates
leaving Milwaukee, she has sold the
property to her son, an only heir to the
large estate, for 100000. Now comes
the statement in the papers that the
son contemplates ultimately cutting
up these beautiful grounds into build
ing lots, and putting them into the
market, the location being the most
desirable in the city. The question is
heard asked, why cannot millionaires
afford to be a little generous, and leave
something to crafty refined public
taste. without converting every thing
into the idolized dollar?

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

1t was stated in the TELEGRAPH last
week that an impulse was being given
to industrial education in the state.
Let head work go on, but let more at
tention to hand training be given.
There is growing necessity for trade
instruction to meet the demands of the
country, and if it be not supplied at
home it will be furnished from other
lands, where schools exist for instrIc-
ton in Industrial occupations. Be-
cause a boy does not expect to follow a
trade, it is no good reason why he
should not learn a trade, if an oppor-
tunity offers. A man does not 90 to
the expense of insuring his home be-
cause he expects it to be burned. nor
does he take life insurance when he
proposes to travel on the railroad, ex-
pecting to sustain personal damage.
he gets insured in such cases because
OF the liability to unforeseen accidents.
A boy wisely resolves to be a farmer,
believing that to be the safest occupa-
ton, but it has often happened that
the farmer has been disabled by acct
dent from the hard labor on the farm.
yet has sufficient physical strength left
to work at some one of the manv
trades. The time spent in learning a
trade is making an investment in a
stock which may some day be conve.
nient to make available. Capital in a
trade is unlike money capital; the for
mer cannot be lost in speculation. but
the latter may be lost by unforeseen
mlsfortunes. A man may be rich to-
day, but by a mistaken venture to.mor-
row may be poor. The transitions
from wealth to poverty are continually
occurring. During the past month
there have been disastrous failures of
individuals and firms that have stood
high in the business world. The man
who loses his all of property. if he have
good trade and reasonable health. is
not really poor. A trade is an abiding
help in the event of pecunIary disas-
ter. A trade cannot be bartered or
gambled away, nor the thief take it
from the possessor. The superficial
reasoner will say, the trades are already

UNFORTUNATE sPECULAToR.

UNFORTUNATE SPECTATORS.
The iron mines in northern Wiscon-
sin have excited much attention in
months past, and caused rush of
speculation. Large sums of money
were reported made on small invest
ments, and hundreds of only small
means have been tempted to venture
all they could possibly spare to buy
stocks in the mines, in hopes of q
speedy realization of handsome profits.
Not few persons in this vicinity have
been heard to express regrets that they
had not secured mining stock in some
one of the companies, and shared in
the speculation which was reported to
have been so advantageous to others.
But now has come sudden collapse
some of the companies which had been
envied for their good fortune, and sup
posed destined to great wealth, are now
declared on the verge of bankruptcy.
A meeting Of stockholders mum bering
it is said, about one hundred, came to-
gether in Milwaukee last week, to con.
fer as to the means of securing, if
possible, something from their invest
ments in the mining operations. The
meeting seems to have been despond-
ent one; all present appeared to have
sustained loss, and not one had realized
any profit. The prospect for these
adventurous spectators is gloomy
the iron mine boom in northern Wis
consin has subsidized; at least the
dreams of prospective wealth, INDUCED
in by many people, have suddenly
vanished.
